An element M has an atomic number 9 and atomic mass 19 . how it's ion will be represented
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 19
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.
Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 9
The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.
Electronic configuration of atom with 9 electrons i.e. fluorine is:
Fluorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form fluoride ion with -1 charge.
